ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Objetivo: Evaluar el nivel de conocimiento de profesionales en salud frente a la donación de órganos y tejidos en Barranquilla. Metodología: Estudio de corte transversal con encuesta semiestructurada sobre el conocimiento de la donación de órganos y tejidos en el personal de salud entre junio hasta diciembre de 2019. Se incluyen 232 profesionales de la salud en los servicios de Unidad de Cuidado Intensivo (UCI) adultos o pediátrica y Urgencias en seis Instituciones Prestadoras de Salud (IPS) de Barranquilla. Resultados: El 75 % de nuestros encuestados fueron mujeres. Se incluyó auxiliares de enfermería (43,5 %), profesionales en enfermería (25,4 %), médicos (22,8 %) y fisioterapeutas (8,2 %). El 84,5 % de los evaluados definió correctamente la muerte encefálica (ME); 50,4 % tiene conocimiento adecuado sobre la presunción en donación; el 52,4 % identifica apropiadamente la legislación, y el 78,9% conoce la activación de alerta en donación. No se encontraron resultados estadísticamente significativos en nivel de conocimiento comparado entre IPS (p=0.42), aunque se encontró una diferencia entre el concepto de presunción legal de la donación entre los servicios UCI adulto, pediátrica y Urgencias (p=0.000) y la definición de ME entre los profesionales asociados (p=0.001). Conclusión: Este diagnóstico del nivel de conocimiento en donación y trasplantes identificó una contundente necesidad de educación y entrenamiento continuo que podría ser gestionada con esfuerzos regionales en pro del mejoramiento del proceso y la tasa de donación de órganos y tejidos.


ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the knowledge level of organ donation and transplantation in health care workers at Barranquilla city in Colombia. Methodology: We performed a cross-sectional study from June to December 2019. Data were collected with the use of a semi-structured questionnaire regarding organ and tissue donation for transplant. This questionnaire was applied to 232 health care professionals associated with six health institutions located at Barranquilla. The main medical areas were adult and pediatric critical care units and emergency departments. Results: 75% of the participants were female. The study included nursing assistants (43,5%), nurses (25,4%), physicians (22,8%) and physiotherapists (8,2%). 84,5% of the participants had a correct definition of Brain Death (BD) and 50,4% had adequate knowledge about presumption consent in organ donation, 52,4% knew organ donation laws correctly, and 78,9% knew how to activate an organ donation alert. here was no significant difference in organ and tissue donation knowledge comparing the six health institutions (p=0.42). However, we found a significant difference in presumption consent in organ donation regarding medical areas (p=0.000), and ME definition distinguish between health care staff (p=0.001). Conclusion: We identified a need for education and training regarding organ and tissue donation in health care staff. Regional efforts should focus on improving the level of knowledge in these areas to increase the organ donor pool and strengthen transplant programs.

ABSTRACT

Deceased organ donation in Korea has increased steadily after legislation of transplantation law. Since last year, however, several obstacles resulting in a decrease in organ donation have been experienced. Among them, the reduced reporting of potential brain death from large size hospitals and reduced consent rate of medically available deceased donors are two main hurdles. The consent rate of organ donation was 41.9% in 2017 but has dropped to approximately 10% than 2016. Other strong family members overrode approximately 10% of donations initially consented by their next of kin. In addition to the medical points, difficulties in labor shortage are being experienced during donor management, testing and organ recovery in the hospital. Some end stage patients who are candidates as organ donor give up further management and decide to withdrawing life sustaining treatment, which deprive the chance of donation. Moreover, the national mortality rate of cerebrovascular and traffic accidents, which occupy a major part of brain death, have decreased over the recent 10 years. All of these events can cause a decrease in brain death development so it is important to find solutions to overcome all of them. Revising transplant law and donation system should be led by government. Efforts to increase the consent rate, procurement rate, and transplant rate and decrease the organ discard rate are all the responsibility of the medical team. Public awareness and a positive attitude towards organ donation are the most important basic requirements for increasing organ donation. A comprehensive task force team to overcome all of these problems is requested.

ABSTRACT

Objective: This study investigated undergraduates? and general population?s knowledge about the methods used for tooth procurement and donation and their destination. Methods: The sample consisted of all undergraduates from a public institution (n=200) and 500 residents from the city of Bauru, São Paulo. They were asked to answer a self-explanatory questionnaire. Results: A total of 56.5% and 71.6% of undergraduates and Bauru residents, respectively, answered the questionnaire. Statistical analysis was based on absolute and relative frequencies. The results showed that 88.5% of the undergraduates had already used human teeth in laboratory activities and at least 8% of them had also used human teeth in research. Most (80.5%) teeth came from donations. Some (59.3%) study participants kept the unused teeth and some (29.2%) donated them. Bauru residents reported that dental surgeons hardly ever asked them to donate their teeth and demonstrated little knowledge about the existence of tooth banks, although most had already extracted at least one tooth. Conclusion: The results suggest that undergraduates have difficulty implementing measures for tooth use and procurement. Activities of human tooth banks need to be disclosed not only to undergraduates but also to the general population.


Objetivo: Analisar o conhecimento dos acadêmicos de graduação de uma instituição pública e da população em geral, sobre os métodos adotados para a aquisição, doação e destinação de órgãos dentários. Métodos: A amostra foi composta de todo o universo de graduandos (n=200) e por 500 indivíduos residentes em Bauru, São Paulo, os quais receberam umquestionário auto-explicativo. Resultados: Houve devolução de 56,5% dos questionários respondidos por graduandos e 71,6% dos respondidos pela população. A análise estatística foi realizada por meio de frequências absolutas e relativas. Os resultados demonstraram que 88,5% dos acadêmicos já utilizaram dentes humanos em atividades laboratoriais e pelo menos 8,0% deles utilizaram também em pesquisa. Quanto à aquisição de órgãos dentários, verificou-se que 80,5%, ocorrem por meio de doações. Os participantes da pesquisa afirmaram que 59,3% guardavam e 29,2% doavam os dentes não utilizados. A população relatou que o profissional quase nunca solicitou a doação do órgão dentário e demonstrou ter baixo conhecimento em relação à existência de banco de dentes, embora a maioria já tivesse extraído algum dente.Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem que os acadêmicos têm dificuldades na adoção de medidas para o uso e a aquisição de órgãos dentários. Há anecessidade de divulgação das atividades dos bancos de dentes humanos não só no meio acadêmico, mas para toda a população.
